La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
The Desert is on fire and its hotter than the sun
Out a trucker window on a long southwestern run
The heat is bearing down on you God's calling you a liar
And your paper skin is tore up on the wire
Oh the desert is on fire
The desert is on fire and there is oil in the ground
It only takes a spark or two to watch it all burn down
The vultures and the rattlesnakes are taking down the prey
And the cactus burn like candles on a yellow birthday cake
Oh the desert is on fire
Stand along the highway and watch it burn
The wind is whipping ashes to the urn
The flames are humming right along
Just like electric wires
Oh the desert is on fire, the desert is on fire
The desert is on fire and there's nowhere left to run
The flames are touching down on you just like the devils tongue
The air is filling up with smoke and the smell of burning tires
From the back seat I can see the flames oh they're all getting higher
Oh the desert is on fire
Stand along the highway and watch it burn
The wind is whipping ashes to the urn
The flames are humming right along
Just like electric wires
Oh the desert is on fire, the desert is on fire
Stand along the highway and watch it burn
The wind is whipping ashes to the urn
The flames are humming right along
Just like electric wires
Oh the desert is on fire, the desert is on fire
